The Train Ride

Product Information

Do Dambulla first so that we can take the train back from Kandy to Colombo We have a week in hand to explore. But it is not always there, unfortunately, sometimes they use an older Expo car without this viewing platform like they did when we took the Expo Rail from Ella to Peradeniya. If the wheelchair user is able to climb a step, and walk a short distance we can assist in boarding.

At each train station on the way, the train cabins get filled with sellers hustling treats like freshly cut pineapple and mango with cinnamon, corn with salty butter, freshly made rice and curry, chili fritters, and crispy papadums. We will tour the country together first as she had never been out of her small village except when leaving.

On their journey, they see lots of different animals come across new places and even meet someone very special right at the end. We have never experienced friendliness and hospitality like we did in Sri Lanka anywhere else in the world. We especially enjoyed the new big and comfortable superior rooms with stunning views from the balcony. The observation car does, however, not have air condition nor any catering so bring your own food and water. Standard rooms are in the old section and are a little small and worn down but the newly built rooms (2017) are very nice and spacious so it is definitely worth upgrading to a new superior room.

We will endeavour to seat those booking in parties of 6 or 8 opposite each other but you may be behind each other. The train journey from Nuwara Eliya (Nanu Oya Station, 8 km or a 10-min taxi ride outside of Nuwara Eliya) to Kandy takes about 4 hours.They are both cheap and very easy countries to travel in, with lovely beaches and nature, friendly people and excellent food. Anyway they cut the line before I could suggest to change train without saying goodbye nor anything. The breakfast is served on the terrace, with spectacular views over the Ella valley, mountains, and tea plantations. Most visitors start their journey from our main station at Havenstreet which is located in the middle of the line. While there are some areas with uneven surfaces, our staff will gladly go out of their way to provide a fun, safe, and enjoyable experience to all.
